The 39th MMFF Entries Announced

The Metro Manila Film Festival, which is the country's biggest (unfortunately, also considered the worst) film festival, has recently announced its eight official entries that will be shown in December. There will be no Panday, Enteng Kabisote, and Shake, Rattle, & Roll movies, which is a good thing because the festival does need a refreshing change from these usual franchises that have become annoyingly repetitious.
